Mbps to MB/sMbit/s → MB/s
1 Mbit/s = 0.125 MB/s · 1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s
Formula
MB/s = Mbit/s ÷ 8
Example: 200 Mbit/s = 200 ÷ 8 = 25 MB/s
These units differ only by a fixed factor: multiply by it to convert, divide to go back. The factors are exact international definitions (for example 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly); results are rounded only for display.
